Anticipation of Arrival in Dublin. sr; 



third, for the purpose of coming to an agree- 

 ment which might have been concluded in half 

 an hour. 



Having a short time at my command before 

 the horses could be ready, I determined to 

 commit in the abstract, to paper, what I had 

 heard ; lest in recording the enormities we had 

 witnessed, I might hereafter suspect my feelings 

 had misled my recollection ; being well aware 

 how much reflection would be likely to augment 

 my indignation and detestation of such tyran- 

 nical behaviour. 



"We have now thirty-eight, little short of fifty 

 English miles to Dublin j which will be a severe 

 day's work for our poor horses, after the services 

 they have already performed. I am prepared 

 to expect in Dublin such gratifications for the 

 eye, as may probably be equal, if not superior 

 to any thing I have ever beheld in any part of 

 Europe. While we approach the spot where 

 we fondly expect tidings from home, the an- 

 xiety for the possession of our letters increases, 

 as the distance from them becomes reduced. 

 Ever yours.
